LONDON, August 2.-It had been supposed from
Churchills speech the other day that he had
broken with Drummond Violin and all his old
friends OF the famous fourth party, like so many
Others. This is evidently not so, for saw them
dining together In close conference at the Bristol
hotel last night. A curious figure Lord Randolph
presented after the dinner dOning a hugh black
cloak with scarlet lining. The result or the
Forest-Dean election has been to slightly check
the liberal confidence aroused by other bye eec-
ttOnS. The liberals increased their vote there
While the tories poled 800 more than In 1885. The
success Of Trevelyan to-day is quite certain, but
there are alarming rumOr5 current about q pOsS1-
Oie falling on OF the liberals majority in Glas-
gov.

What the PaM Mall Gazette Says OF
HIS Being the Embodiment Of she
Russian Character.
Special Cable Dispatch to The EVENING STAR.
LONDON, August 2.-As the Pail Mall Gazette is
the only English paper advocating Russian alli-
ance, and as its editor is the most intimate man
In England with official and unofticial Russians
Katkon: "The only journalist In the world with
whom We would have cared to change places died
yesterday. Not that we would prefer TO edit the
Moscow Gazette rather than the Pail Mall Gazette,
but there is no other paper published at the
OF affairs which even approximates to our ideal,
save that which for quarter century has been
known to Europe as the organ OF katkon. His very
existence has been concrete. In refutation
OF the most OF popular nbels upon
Russia which have made that empire
so utterly uncomfortable to those English
war, who only see Russia through the Jaundiced
eyes OF n1htlist exileS, he was the spokesman OF
great Russia, the 1ncarnate embodyment or all
that Russia most admres; the organ OF their most
dfstinctively national ideas. These sixty millions
OF Russians proper we do not know any more than
we can know the myriadS OF horses OF their
SteppeS OF the bears OF their immense forests.
We can only judge OF them by their typical man,
the person who, standing high in their midst they
yet recognize as being in all respects except In
prominence one OF themselves flesh OF their fiesh
bone OF their bone, the Incarnation or the slvas,
beliefs, preJudiceS, passions, rears and aspirations
which animate the common people. katkon was
such man. In him We see a mlcroc0Sm or Rus

GALVESTON, August "A special 20 the NeiOs
from Mckinney says: About fifteen years ago
man named Ballou was hung In this COLLIN county
for the murder OF one Golden. The men came to-
gether from Indiana 10 Texas on prospecting
tour. ArUer the murder Ballou returned TO Indi-
ana, and, wearing the murdered mans clothing,
married Golden's sister, Suspicion was aroused,
and he was arterward arrested and condemned to
death. A few days ago man named Mex on his
death bed confessed that he and not Ballou mur-
dered Golden. He gave a minute description OF
the whole affair. The finale, however, spois the
sensation, for Mex said that he was hired by Bal.
lou to commit the deed.

Special Oable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
LONDON. August 2-The following opinion OF
Arfatole de la Forge, regarding the Boulanger-
Ferry duel, absurd as 1t reads is telegraphed to
day as truly descriptive OF the best French feeling:
''In showing quick resentment Boulanger has
saved the honor OF his epaulettes. II he had not
done so all lawyers would try to make their way
in politics by insulting him. The Germans then
would have every right to despise our officers.
Every time I have been asked to be a second
have tried to prevent the duel but II Boulanger
now came to me should say to him, this meeting
must be serious; must be no more firing shots for
mere form sake; no superficial ptnking with q
sword, and 1t must 60 on until one OF the pr1nci-
pals is badly wounded and really unable to use his
weapon. II not, the whole French army will be
disgraced But my mind Is easy on this score. II
Ferry refuses TO night, the only course which re-
mains to BOulOnger will be to spit In MS face"

him by his photograph.
CHICAGO August "A Daily Ne,0s' special from
Wyoming, ont, says: McGarigle, the boodler, ar.
rived in Wyoming al 1 O'Clock Monday morning,
having been driven over from Sarnia 19 miles dis
tant, by lvery-Sia keeper or that place. They
stopped at the Central Hotel here, kept by Jacob
Rodgers and ordered lodgings and breakfast, but
McGarigle did not register or make his Identity
KNOWN The landlord suspected by the actions Of
his guest that he was trying 10 evade justice, and
on making inquiries OF the person who drove him
here he learned or his Identity. He retired at 80
and slept until a. IN, when he took breakfast,
rendered the Landlord a $40 American bank -note
from which TO deduct his bill. The landlord
expressed his doubts 10 It's being genuine.
when McGarlgle jocularly remarked that it was
such as those that the grand Institutions OF the
United States were founded upon. He then went
10 the railway station, purchased ticket for
London and boarded the o :3S a IN train for that
city. He made no effort 10 hide his Identity, and
was recognized by both the conductor and brake
man or the train by his resemblance to q picture
OF him they had seen. He stated TO a party with
whom he was conyerSing that II was his Intention
TO return TO Chicago as soon as he got the little
affair settled. He appeared In no way reticent
about talking over the matter, and did not seem

wears his whlskers and mouStache In the saLno
fashion as when he left Chicago.

Forts Washington and Footc.


THE TWO DILAPIDATED FORTIFICATIONS ON WHICH
THE SAFETY OF THE CAPITAL MIGHT DEPEND.
Col. p. G.. Hams, in his annual report to the
Chief OF Engineers on the Notifications ofW ashng-
ton, says that the masonry OF old Fort Washing
ton is still in good condition. but as the fort was
designed more than half a century ago, 1t is not
adapted to receive guns OF modern size, or to de-
fensive purposes against such guns. The plat
forms for four guns were built and the magazines
partially SO, when work was suspended for lack OF
funds Three other batteries were planned, but
no work has yet been done on them. Col Hams
thinks that the plans Of these batteries should be
modified to conform to the latest improvements In
defensive works before their. construction is be-
gun. The buildings un0ccupied by troops aregen-
orally in dIlapidated condition, but no repairs
are recommended, as It is OF more importance TO
mount q few guns or TO finish the magazines and
parapets.
OF Fort Foote, Col Hams says: No work has
ever been done on the proposed new battery, and
none on the Old fort since 1874 At the present
time the condition Of the work may be described
as one OF utter diiapidation. There are ive gun
platforms laid, four front and one center: They
able. No guns are mounted. The plans OF the
work require revision. The buildings are all con-
structed OF perishable material and are rapidly
going to decay.
